Hi, Nan!!
I use Splenda in my iced tea, and enjoy that.
As to ice cream, a lot of "sweet" things are just TOO sweet and recoil - - same with jelly, even sweetened with aspartame, so seldom have toast anymore.
Any chocolate is 'verboten' - rejected from a churning stomach.
Fortunately, I am an exception to the 'Woman Who Needs Chocolate' category - never really craved it or sweets, thankfully.
Have to restrict fruits because of the carbs, and because I build up TOO MUCH potassium.
Bottom Line = Weird Body - lol
Splenda
That's what I use..
G'Night, i'm beat!
You know I'm not fond of chocolate either, but the mint overpowers the chocolate. But Bryers vanilla is good and not too sweet. I don't like the sticky sweet either. As for fruit, I'm beginning to get the same results that you have from fruit. Must be genetic eh?
